Forward Looking Statements

2

The matters discussed in this presentation include forward looking statements which are subject to various risks,uncertainties, and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results anticipated. Such risksand uncertainties include but are not limited to the success of AgeX Therapeutics and its affiliates in developing newstem cell-based products and technologies; results of clinical trials of such products; the ability of AgeX and its licenseesto obtain additional FDA and foreign regulatory approval to market products; competition from products manufacturedand sold or being developed by other companies; the price of and demand for such products; the ability of AgeX and itssubsidiaries to maintain patent and other intellectual property rights; and the ability of AgeX to raise the capital needed tofinance its current and planned operations. Any statements that are not historical fact (including, but not limited tostatements that contain words such as "will," "believes," "plans," "anticipates," "expects," "estimates") should also beconsidered to be forward-looking statements. As actual results may differ materially from the results anticipated in theseforward-looking statements they should be evaluated together with the many uncertainties that affect the business ofAgeX and its other subsidiaries, particularly those mentioned in the cautionary statements found in AgeX's Securitiesand Exchange Commission filings. AgeX disclaims any intent or obligation to update these forward-looking statements.

• To target the largestand most rapidly-growingmarkets in medicine:Age-RelatedDegenerative Disease

• An advanced technologythat reverses aging andinduces regeneration inhuman cells and tissues

Mission

4

Significant Biotechnology Revolutions4

• 1974 – Gene cloning technology developed

• 1976 - Moratorium on rDNA research initiated led to established guidelines on rDNA research

• 1989 – First $B product EPO • Today, products from the use

of rDNA technology are ubiquitous

• >140 clinical trials• Current Global Market $75 B

Recombinant DNA Technology

• 1975 - Hybridoma technology developed

• 1997- First $B Product Rituximab

• Advances in Mab Engineering• Today, eight of the 20 best-

selling biotechnology drugs in therapeutic monoclonal antibodies

• > 200 clinical trials• Current Global Market $44 B

Monoclonal Antibodies

• 1998 – First Pluripotent Stem Cells isolated

• 2001 – U.S. Federal funding restriction (reversed in 2009)

• 2010 – 1st hES Clinical trial• 2015 – Fuji acquires Cell. Dyn.• 2015 – Astellas acquires Ocata• 2019 – Bayer acquires BlueRock• 2019 – Vertex acquires Semma

• Future – 1st $B product

Regenerative Medicine

The Power of Pluripotency

• Key applications in age-related degenerative disease• Uniform and infinitely-scalable product• Enables precise genetic modification• Off-the-shelf products

Pluripotent Stem Cells

6

The >1000-fold complexity of cell types derived from hPS cells leads to unique challenges:

• How manufacture with cGMP?• How produce allogeneic product?• Identity - Lot-to-lot variability in

composition• Purity – Contamination with

unknown cell types

UniverCyteTM: HLA-G for Allogeneic Immunotolerance

• The primary role of HLA-G is to suppress maternal immune response to pregnancies

• Disarms multiple pathways of immune response leading to rejection

Business Strategy

• Bailment of Master Cell Banks (MCBs)

21

Bailment of Master Cell Banks

Cellular Therapeutics

• AgeX retains ownership of MCB• Licensee owns derivative products

in defined fields of use• Royalty is not patent-based and

therefore runs into indefinite future• Results in potentially high NPV

Obesity/T2D Market/Competition

• 30M Americans have diabetes1 1:3 Americans will have diabetes by 2050• The global market for diabetes mellitus and obesity is set to rise from $70.8 billion

in 2015 to $163.2 billion by 2022, at a strong compound annual growth rate of 12.7%, according to business intelligence firm GBI Research.

• Competing products commonly target insulin secretion, glucose excretion, incretins such as GLP-1, or attempt to activate existing BAT or cause browning of white fat.
